I'm currently working a few different things, but will add this to the todo / wish list.
By comments, do you mean the number of comments or the comments text?
Same with the votes, do you mean number of and average or individual votes?
Just a FYI, the test server has been switched off.
Maybe someone else has a better server they can use. Either way, this one did not really work. Was worth a try.
Thanks people.
I'll leave the test server up for a few more days in case someone has some success.
The bots have been removed to see if that improves performance a bit.
The automated scripts that check the items, bots and a heap of other stuff for the reviews and listings have all been re-written. To be honest, the old ones were a bit of a quick hack job that "did the job", but they had errors and did miss a number of things.
Anyway, the new scripts have been run over all the listed maps now. The Overview section should now be a lot more accurate and have nothing missing.
That's all. Just a general information post.
Anyone with a nice fast network is welcome to set up a server.
A test server has been set-up, but I do not know if it will last or if it is any good. It will depend on system resources. See this forum thread lvlworld.com/thread/403/0 for more details.
It may only be run on weekends.
In response to this thread ..::LvLWorld Q3 server? - lvlworld.com/thread/402/0 - a test server has been set-up.
Connection details -
Address: ioq3.lvlworld.com
Port: 27960
Be sure to set cl_allowDownload 1 to download maps you may not have.
Depending on the server resources used, this may not last long. Think of it as a test only.
The current maps on the server are all from the following map packs:
lvlworld.com/review/id:2401
lvlworld.com/review/id:929
lvlworld.com/review/id:2072
lvlworld.com/review/id:2071
And, the current default server rotation is:

For me, it is super laggy but that is understandable based on my distance to the server.
@raspatan : I'm more than happy to take you up on your offer of help with the media and descriptions for the mods. Could you send some samples through (maybe two or three) for me to work on the code to support it all.
At the moment, it is all simply a list, but it does appear we are going to need add some functionality.
The High-Resolution Texture pack has been added.
Thanks Mapsking for the suggestions.
..::LvL uses a "fluid" design. This means one site for all platforms. If you scale your browser window down to a mobile size (or anything between), you will see the site adjust to fit.
The menu has been designed to be as consistent as possible over all these sizes and formats. This means there are 12 items in the main menu. Why 12? Because 12 can be divided by 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6. This magic number allows for a seamless menu resize with even column counts of 2, 3 and 4 (1 and 6 are not used).
A menu count of 16 would only give even columns for 2 and 4, but the 3 is needed. That said, I might be able to live with a 3 column being an uneven count. Just need to check if 16 items will still fit on a small mobile size.
Need to run some test first :)
